Japanese asked what they consider to be the indispensable prerequisites for love supply a suitably soppy ranking.
The ranking, with votes cast for each:
1. Empathy (7605)
2. A first encounter (3608)
3. Money (2852)
4. Excitement [“tokimeki”] (2793)
5. An open and honest heart (2106)
6. Fidelity (1507)
7. A spirit of compromise (1449)
8. Perseverance (1280)
9. At least some attractiveness (1143)
10. Fate (789)
Those wondering about the relatively romantic (or, perhaps, deficiently pragmatic) nature of the ranking should note the wording – “love” of course does not carry quite the same implication as “relationship” or even “marriage” – previous rankings seem to bear this out.
Money Lol XD
bitches and whores
Hey Palmtop you’re pretty on this picture!
Heh…for this list, umm…
1. [b]Empathy[/b]
I agree but this doesn’t work for everyone, I am 1 example of this as I just don’t always care what people are talking about…
2. [b]A first encounter[/b]
Don’t get too much what this means but this is kind of a essential quality but not really…
3. [b]Money[/b]
See, this is exactly why I am detached from reality, cause of stupid s♥♥t like this, while money is essential for a relationship it should not be essential for love, period…
4. [b]Excitement [“tokimeki”][/b]
I agree here, definitely needed, the break up rate is a clear sign of proof of this being fact…
5. [b]An open and honest heart[/b]
No no, no, this won’t work at all, everybody needs their privacy or else something is always bound to go wrong that would otherwise not, I mean be honest but don’t be too open or else…
6. [b]Fidelity[/b]
Yes cause without that then, what’s the point, this really REALLY should be (1.), period…
7. [b]A spirit of compromise[/b]
I agree but it must be something that the person can give up without in the process destroying their whole being, simple as that…
8. [b]Perseverance[/b]
Not really, I mean this is needed in reality but only because most people just love to make it difficult, I say this is not essential for love at all…
9. [b]At least some attractiveness[/b]
Yes, yes, very much agree here I mean you have to want to look at it, that being said, it is not all about looks here, just that person being attractive in some way to the other person to a notable extent & this should really be higher I mean really…
10. [b]Fate[/b]
Meh, I agree a little here I guess but there is only so much fate 1 can have in terms of love & what not…
Japan is seriously fucked up right now, simple as that…not trying to be mean but facts need to be faced here…
Also:
#0. Not being a bipolar tsundere.
Fate because of DAT ASS.
